#1A Round Buttercream Piping Tip – Perfect for Bold Swirls & Smooth Piping

The #1A Round Buttercream Piping Tip is a decorating essential for bold, smooth piping with impact. Featuring a large round opening, this tip is perfect for cupcake swirls, dollops, blobs, ruffles, filling gaps, and modern buttercream textures. It is a go-to tip for quick, clean results with minimal effort.

Because the opening is wide, the #1A tip works beautifully with softer buttercreams and ganache-style icings. It produces smooth, rounded finishes that are ideal for cupcakes, cake borders, drip-style dollops, and contemporary designs. This makes it especially popular with beginners, as it is forgiving and easy to control, while professionals value its speed and consistency.

For best results, use a smooth, well-conditioned buttercream and apply steady pressure. Pair with a standard piping bag and coupler if you plan to swap tips during decorating. The #1A tip is also excellent for filling macarons, profiteroles, and doughnuts.

Made from durable, food-safe metal, this piping tip is designed for repeated use and easy cleaning. Rinse immediately after use or wash in warm soapy water, then dry thoroughly before storing.
